First, I love the lighting. It's very even, & looks equal with all the things in the picture. To add to the wow effect, take a look at the backside of the trees that are to the back right of the horse. See how dark it is? I'd use that as a reference as to how dark to make the shadows, or parts away from the light source. Not too much darker, but a little. Second, the body prep looks good. Very simple, yet noticeable. The outline of the horse looks good, but avoid outlining the hoofs. Lower the brush opacity when doing the hoofs, or when the object you're lining is darker. Third, the eye could use some work, I don't see a pupil or any lighter areas. Fourth, the highlights in the tail start harshly & end harshly. Using a softer brush on a lower opacity will help to make it look more smooth.

Gorgeous piece! Hope it helps!
